Fostex T50rp Mk3 Professional Semi Open Headphone

These headphones are known for their robustness, reliability, and accurate monitoring capabilities.

Fostex T50RP mk3 Headphones Key Features

• Unique Proprietary RP (Regular Phase) Drivers – The RP driver unit incorporates Fostex’s own Regular Phase Technology diaphragm, also known as orthodynamic. It features a copper foil etched polyimide film and a powerful magnet, resulting in sharper audio reproduction for more accurate monitoring.
• Lower Sensitivity for Accurate Response – The RP mk3 drivers have lower sensitivity compared to the previous model and some dynamic designs. However, the focus is on accurate response with reduced extremes in high/low sensitivity across the frequency range. When paired with a quality headphone amplifier, the RP series delivers a balanced and natural sound that is transparent, particularly in the mid/high frequencies.
• Flexible and Reliable – The RP mk3 series can handle a maximum input power of 3000mW, making them suitable for various professional situations. The headphones come with an interchangeable 6.35mm / 3.5mm cable, allowing compatibility with portable, professional, and consumer products. The redesigned housing, low-repulsion ear pads, and headband ensure maximum performance and comfort.
• Three Models for Different Environments – The RP mk3 series offers three different enclosure types to suit various uses. The T50RPmk3 model features a semi-open design that combines advantages from open and closed designs. It provides a very flat and accurate response, making it ideal for critical and analytical listening in commercial recording studios.
